Pricing for Metairie, LA Website Maintenance

The starting price for our website maintenance services is $119.50/hour, but we offer discounts for pre-purchased blocks of time that bring the rate as low as $99.95/hour.

If you purchase a website maintenance retainer, there are no contracts, hidden fees, expirations, or minimum deductions.

The Platforms We Maintain for Metairie, LA Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Metairie businesses (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. Nevertheless, mastering a handful of platforms is better than trying to be an expert on everything. Because of that, we tend to service only these platforms for Metairie websites:

• Metairie WordPress Website Support
• Metairie WooCommerce Web Maintenance
• Metairie Shopify Website Maintenance

As a web support company, we used to maintain and support Joomla and Magento websites for Metairie-area businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Web Maintenance Service List for Metairie, LA Businesses

After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Metairie website maintenance requests. We've performed these Metairie web support services in the past, and would be happy to do it for you too!

Simple Metairie Website Updates

Your Metairie website might need a paragraph updated, an image changed, or a new page added. These are just normal, routine website support tasks to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Metairie Page Speed Improvements

If your Metairie website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting issues, caching issues, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. User experience and SEO will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Upgrades / Security Updates

It's important to keep your Metairie website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. The updates improve security and functionality - sometimes they're quick, so it's an easy win!

Extension / Plugin Updates

It's important to update your Metairie website's plugins and extensions to reflect the latest changes by the developers. The idea is similar to updating the CMS platform since it fixes security and functionality problems.

Fixing Search Console Issues

Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we can review the coverage issues, fix the problems, and update you on the results. This will help your search engine rankings, throughout Metairie and beyond, by making Google happy!

Setup Structured Data

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is structured data, which is a standardized way to describe the content on a webpage, whether it's a local Metairie business, or an ecommerce product.

Add Open Graph to Your Website

When people share links of your Metairie business on social media, your website will look better if you add Open Graph Tags. These tags help define an image, title, and description for your each page on your website.

Have you been getting fake orders, contact submissions, or live chats from a particular network? Our team can help set up IP restrictions so your website doesn't get hit with as much malicious traffic.

Run Website & Database Backups

Is it time to make a backup of your Metairie website? We can help you create one-time or scheduled backups that store locally or at an offsite location.
